Emperor's wrath Vader?

Hey just wondering, if anybody has the new Vader if it is cool or not? I have seen the pics for him, but it is so hard to base an opinion on that. So far, the new luke has been getting lukewarm reviews.

I managed to pick one up to my surprise. At first, I thought the figure was Dagobah Vader, as the rest of the Collection 1 assortment the figure is supposed to be with was absent and there was just the one Vader.

Like Dagobah Vader, much of this figure is translucent black, including the head, hands and forearms. What tipped it off from a distance for me was the blueness of the head. On close inspection, you can see the skull inside the head from the side. Also, placing the head in the light shows the lightening bolts , which are just painted on, much better. Also, the right hand appears to come off.

All in all, a nice figure, and my guess the scalpers target amongst the 3 in the wave.

The Emperor's Wrath Vader is pretty cool. The head glows in the dark after you hold it over a light for a few minutes. The sculpt is really detailed.

Luke X-Wing appears to have had his head shrunk. I don't understand why Hasbro can't seem to get the head scaled right. Young Anakin's head is actually bigger. I imagine Luke won't look so funny with the helmet on but I have not opened it yet.

Han's pose looks a little strange but has nice detailing.

Shmi is probably the nicest figure of the bunch.

Obi-Wan/JT Gear is a huge waste of plastic. Don't know why they even bothered. With so many characters that are in need of being made or resculpted the EU figures leave much to be desired.

I'm still waiting for a new POTJ C-3PO. He is the only core character from the 1st Trilogy that has yet to appear in the line. A C-3PO with articulated legs and arms would be great.
